The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic and phenotypic correlations of egg quality traits in Khazak chicken. Albumen height (AH), albumen weight (AW), eggshell color (ESC), yolk color (YC), eggshell index, long length of egg (ELL), short length of egg (ESL), eggshell weight (ESW), egg weight (EW), Haugh units, and yolk weight (YW) were measured in 201 eggs collected 6 d sequentiall...

Zhedanov’s algebra AW (3) is considered with explicit structure constants such that, in the basic representation, the first generator becomes the second order q-difference operator for the Askey–Wilson polynomials. It is proved that this representation is faithful for a certain quotient of AW (3) such that the Casimir operator is equal to a special constant. Some explicit aspects of the double ...

The restoration of normal physical activity is a primary objective of most chronic pain rehabilitative interventions, yet few clinically practical objective measures of activation exist. Actigraphy is one technology that promises to fill this void in the field of pain outcomes assessment. This study evaluates the measurement properties of one of several commercially available actigraphs: the Ac...

In this paper, we propose an adaptively weighted subpatternbased isometric projection (Aw-spIsoP) algorithm for face recognition. Unlike IsoP (isometric projection) based on a whole image pattern, the proposed Aw-spIsoP method operates on sub-patterns partitioned from an original whole face image and separately extracts corresponding local sub-features from them. Moreover, the adjacency graph u...

The arc-representation of a graph is a mapping from the set of vertices to the arcs of a circle such that adjacent vertices are mapped to intersecting arcs. The width of such a representation is the maximum number of arcs having a point in common. The arc-width(aw) of a graph is the minimum width of its arc-representations. We show how arc-width is related to path-width and vortex-width. We pro...

for simultaneously diagonalizable matrices A,B ∈ C . The unbounded drift term is defined by a skew-symmetric matrix S ∈ R. Differential operators of this form appear when investigating rotating waves in time-dependent reaction diffusion systems. As shown in a companion paper, one key assumption to prove resolvent estimates of L∞ in L (R,C ), 1 < p < ∞, is the following L-dissipativity condition...

Let X be a locally connected, b-compact metric space and E a closed subset of X. Let G be the space of all continuous real-valued functions defined on some closed subsets of E. We prove the equivalence of the τ aw and τ K topologies on G, where τ aw is the so called Attouch-Wets topology, defined in terms of uniform convergence of distance functionals, and τ K is the topology of Kuratowski conv...
